MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 15
The idea of making money just flashed through Su Miaomiao's head, and was quickly thrown aside by her.
The summer vacation was long, so Su Miaomiao first went back to her hometown in the county to stay with her grandparents for half a month, then came back to stay with her parents for two days, and immediately went to Jiangcheng to visit her grandparents.
Su Mingan didn't worry about his daughter going out by herself, he was the one who escorted her there.
Su Miaomiao is beautiful, well-behaved, and her academic performance is good. The only shortcoming is that she likes to sleep in. But in the eyes of the elders, what is sleeping in? Children work so hard at school, and summer vacation is for sleeping!
With the connivance of her grandparents, Su Miaomiao can sleep until she wakes up naturally every day.
So every time Xie Jingyuan played the video, he would see a girly face that was rosy and moist.
"What did you do today?"
Xie Jingyuan asked as usual, he contacted Su Miaomiao to ensure that she did not harm others outside.
Su Miaomiao reported truthfully: "I got up at nine o'clock in the morning. My cousin took me to the playground for a day and came back after dinner."
As she spoke, she yawned at the camera.
I had so much fun during the day, now I feel limp and just want to sleep.
Xie Jingyuan looked away, and when she closed her mouth, he looked over indifferently: "When will you be back?"
Su Miaomiao rubbed her eyes and said: "On Saturday, my cousin's university is about to start, she will take me home first, and stay at our house for one night before going to Beijing."
Anshi is located next to Jingshi, and it only takes one and a half hours by train.
The day after tomorrow is Saturday.
Xie Jingyuan confirmed her return date and was about to end the video.
Su Miaomiao suddenly remembered, leaned closer to the screen and said, "Master Dao, we arrive at the airport at 12 noon. Dad is still on a business trip and mom is busy with work. Why don't you come to the airport to pick us up? Grandpa and grandma brought me a lot of delicious food." , but the suitcase is too heavy to lug around."
The cousin brought a box by herself, Su Miaomiao didn't want to bother her cousin anymore, but it was no problem to bother Xie Jingyuan, this was what he should do.
Xie Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds, nodded, and hung up the video at the same time.
Su Miaomiao also put her mobile phone on the bedside table, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep for a second.
At 10:30 on Saturday morning, Xie Jingyuan came out of the study and said to Grandma Tao who was watching TV in the living room, "I'm leaving."
Grandma Tao smiled and said, "Go quickly, girl Miaomiao, she's been playing outside for most of the summer vacation, and she's coming back soon."
She misses Su Miaomiao no less than Su Mingan and his wife.
Xie Jingyuan changed his sneakers and opened the door.
At this time, Su Miaomiao and her cousin Tang Yan were still on the plane.
Su Miaomiao was sitting in the window seat, leaning against the back of the chair and sleeping comfortably, when suddenly the plane shook violently.
Tang Yan grabbed her cousin's hand nervously.
Su Miaomiao woke up after being caught, and when her eyesight recovered, the plane had resumed a stable flight.
"What's wrong?" Su Miaomiao asked puzzled.
Tang Yan laughed and said, "It's okay, you, you, even if the sky is falling, it won't affect your sleep."
Su Miaomiao looked at her watch, it was more than an hour before the plane landed.
She was bored and was about to go back to sleep when Tang Yan took out a book from her carry-on backpack. On the dark cover were printed the words "Town the Demon".
Su Miaomiao wouldn't care about changing the title of the book, but the name "Suppressing Monsters" made her feel a murderous look.
After all, she is a monster.
"Cousin, what book is this?" Su Miaomiao approached curiously.
Seeing that she was interested, Tang Yan introduced, ""Town the Demon", a novel that became popular among males last year, and it was published this year."
Su Miaomiao: "What are you talking about?"
Tang Yan: "It's about a little Taoist priest who just joined the Taoist temple. While learning art, he followed his master down the mountain to catch monsters. If you like it, I will give it to you after reading it. Actually, this book has been popular for almost a year. I used to I don’t read novels, I was really bored during the holidays, so I was recommended by my roommate to read this book, it’s so good!”
Su Miaomiao couldn't empathize with her cousin's obsession, she was just a little flustered: "Is the story in it true? There really are goblins and such powerful Taoist priests in this world?"
Last summer, Grandma Tao took her and Xie Jingyuan to travel, and once passed a Taoist temple.
The Taoist priests inside are basically no different from ordinary people except for chanting scriptures and some superficial kung fu for physical fitness.
Su Miaomiao also believed Xie Jingyuan's words, believing that there are no goblins in this world, and there are no powerful Taoist priests.
But what if?
Su Miaomiao was seriously confused and made Tang Yan laugh. She pinched Su Miaomiao's smooth apple-like face and said, "You are about to go to high school. Why are you so stupid? There are no demons or ghosts in this world. They are all authors." You imagined it. Have you read "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", you can't think that all the ghosts in it are real, right?"
Su Miaomiao knew "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Cheng Yue bought a copy, and after reading it, she had nightmares.
When the book was finally in Su Miaomiao's hands, she only turned a few pages in class, and Xie Jingyuan confiscated it before she tasted it...
Su Miaomiao looked at the cover of "Town Monster". The author is a guy named "Xuanji".
The plane began to descend.
Tang Yan put away the novel and woke up her cousin who was still dozing off.
Su Miaomiao stretched her waist and looked out the window. The fields were getting closer and the airport was just ahead.
"I don't know if your little boyfriend has arrived." Tang Yan sipped her saliva and joked.
Su Miaomiao: "It's not my boyfriend, cousin, don't talk nonsense, he will be angry if he hears it."
Tang Yan: "I've come to pick you up, and you still say that you are not in a relationship? Don't worry, my cousin will not tell others."
People around her always misunderstood her relationship with Xie Jingyuan, Su Miaomiao couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply shut up.
After getting off the plane, Su Miaomiao turned on her phone, and Xie Jingyuan's text message popped up first, saying that he had arrived and was in the pick-up hall.
Su Miaomiao replied a text message and went with her cousin to get the suitcase first.
Su Miaomiao is not exaggerating at all. Grandpa and grandma stuffed her suitcase so that there is no gap. It is very laborious to lift it off the turntable, and it is not easy to drag it.
Tang Yan took care of her cousin and exchanged procrastination with her.
Coming to the exit, Su Miaomiao looked around and found Xie Jingyuan, he was wearing a black short sleeve, tall and thin.
"That's Xie Jingyuan? Let me go, this is completely at the school level, you didn't even think about taking a few photos and putting them in your phone."
Tang Yan was deeply shocked by the appearance of her cousin's legendary boyfriend of a schoolmaster.
Su Miaomiao shook her head, then waved to Xie Jingyuan.
Xie Jingyuan walked towards the end of the exit passage, the distance was close enough, Su Miaomiao took back her heavy suitcase from her cousin, and handed it to Xie Jingyuan naturally.
Xie Jingyuan took it silently.
"This is my cousin."
Xie Jingyuan looked at Tang Yan.
Although Tang Yan is a sophomore, she is about the same height as Su Miaomiao, and she can't put on a picture of a big sister in front of Xie Jingyuan who is at least 175 years old.
The main reason is Xie Jingyuan's otherworldly appearance and his aloof temperament, it is really difficult for ordinary people to let go in front of him.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Xie Jingyuan looked at Su Miaomiao again.
Su Miaomiao: "No, the food on the plane is not delicious. Grandma called me in advance and asked us to go to your house for lunch."
Xie Jingyuan hummed: "Let's go."
He dragged Su Miaomiao's suitcase and strode outside.
Tang Yan quietly asked her cousin: "When you two are alone together, is he so cold?"
Su Miaomiao: "Yes, you are more rude to me than to you."
Tang Yan looked at her cousin who had a sweet appearance and a soft personality, and secretly made up a pair of classic love cp of "the domineering school girl fell in love with me".
It took an hour by taxi from the airport to the warm community.
During this hour, Su Miaomiao continued to sleep leaning against her cousin, while Xie Jingyuan sat in the passenger seat, without any intention of chatting.
The most enthusiastic one turned out to be the driver uncle.
Finally arrived at Wenxin Community, dragged his suitcase downstairs, Xie Jingyuan showed Tang Yan his way of hospitality for the first time - he took Tang Yan's suitcase there, and then carried a suitcase in each hand, kicked Climb up to the third floor.
Tang Yan began to envy her cousin, not to mention high school students, even male college students may not have Xie Jingyuan's boyfriend power.
Grandma Tao enthusiastically invited the two sisters to 302.
Lunch was ready, Su Miaomiao took her cousin to the bathroom to wash her hands, and Grandma Tao brought the last dish to the table.
Tang Yan was still a little restrained at Xie's house. When she returned to 301, Tang Yan immediately opened up the conversation: "Miao Miao, is Xie Jingyuan a vegetarian?"
Su Miaomiao nodded.
Tang Yan: "I admire him so much. I always want to lose weight, but I can't bear to only eat vegetables."
Su Miaomiao: "What are you doing to lose weight? Eating meat is delicious. There are also nutrients in meat that vegetables cannot provide to humans."
Although Xie Jingyuan is only a vegetarian, he knows how to cultivate, and the aura he absorbs is more nourishing than any other nutrition. That's why he grows so tall without affecting his normal growth.
Tang Yan sighed: "You are still young, you don't understand."
Su Miaomiao thought of grandma, and threatened her cousin: "You are not allowed to lose weight anyway, or I will tell grandma."
In Su Miaomiao's view, eating only vegetables is a form of torture, and she cannot watch her relatives suffer in vain.
Fortunately, Tang Yan was just talking casually. Tang Shiwei took the sisters to a big meal at night, and Tang Yan ate better than Su Miaomiao!
On the morning of the weekend, Tang Yan got on the bullet train bound for Beijing.
She also left the "Suppressing Monsters" to Su Miaomiao as promised.
Mom and Dad were not at home, Su Miaomiao had nothing to do after taking a nap, and opened the novel.
The little Taoist priest in the book worships the Zixia Temple, which is completely different from the Qingxu Temple that Su Miaomiao had been to.
However, the scriptures chanted by the Taoist priests at Zixia Temple, the teachings given by the old Taoist priests to the young Taoist priests, and even the mantras that the old Taoist priests recited when they were catching monsters, were all similar to what she heard from Xie Jingyuan!
Su Miaomiao was so shocked, she didn't even change her pajamas, she put on her slippers and grabbed a book and went to 302.
Grandma Tao came to open the door.
Su Miaomiao drilled in familiarly: "Grandma, where's brother?"
"He's in the study, you..."
Su Miaomiao has already run to the study.
Usually there are only Xie Jingyuan and Grandma Tao in the family, Xie Jingyuan has not developed the habit of locking the door.
The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, Xie Jingyuan turned his head, saw Su Miaomiao, and silently closed the laptop screen with his slender hands.
"What's the matter?" he asked indifferently.
Su Miaomiao held up the novel in her hand in front of him: "Teacher, take a look, the scriptures here..."
Xie Jingyuan glanced at Grandma Tao behind her, with the usual expression: "Is it difficult to understand?"
Su Miaomiao: "No, these scriptures are exactly the same as what you said!"
Xie Jingyuan: "Of course, I wrote the book."
Su Miaomiao: ...
Grandma Tao saw that her grandson was finally willing to tell his good friend the secret of his novel writing, and left with a smile.
